Neb., Oct. 29. Approxi mately 75 men, including officers of Antelope county .searched the coun tryside between Brunswick and Ne- ligh today in hopes of finding trace of Mrs. Ernest Witmer, 26. who the' fear might have met with foul , play and have been buried in a shal low grave. Mrs. Witmer has not been seen by her friends since Sep tember 26. The searchers spent several hours locking over the John Forbes farm, on which the Witmers lived. The husband is also missing. Albert Dreger, living near Nor folk, father of the missing woman, spent a part of Monday morning talking with Norfolk police. Sher iff Sutton, Neligh, also came to Nor folk Monday morning. Chain Found at Door. Dreger is asking farm residents of Antelope, Madison and Pierce counties to look over their land near the highways for a shallow grave. He asked that wells and culvorts be inspected. "I want to find out if Rose , (his daughter) Is dead or alive," he; .said. All her clothing except what I she wore is in her home. J j Witmer, who came to Norfolk, in an old touring car, was seen in this, city the morning of September 27,' the day after his wife was last seen. The finding of a broken watch J chain near the door sill of the farm home in which the Witmers lived has furnished authorities a clew", j The opinion is expressed that the, broken chain indicates there was aj scuffle at the doorway, during which the chain was torn from Writmer's pocket. Witmer's Car Gone Again. 1 Upon reading newspaper accounts of the young couple's disappearance employes of the Royal Miller Chevro let company, Norfolk, informed the( local police that on either September 29 or 30 they discovered an old Ford automobile, the one owned by Wit- merj parked In the rear or their gar age. Puzzled to know who the own er was, the garage employes said , they communicated with officials of( Antelope county and learned that Ernst Witmer was the owner. Two. weeks later the car was still there.! At that time the garagemen found the machine was in good condition, j Some time between October 1! andj 17, the Witmer automobile dl3ap-i peared from the parking place near, the garage. J .
